Shouldn't Medicare do more to address health disparities among minority seniors?
Answered by 4 licensed agents
Disparities may be different for each person. Tell me your disparities so we can see what options we have.
Yes, Medicare should do more to address health disparities among minority seniors, as research indicates that disparities in access to care and health outcomes persist even within the Medicare program, and that expanding coverage and addressing social determinants of health can help reduce these inequities.

Oh yessss, is actually a big pet peeve of mine. And something that a lot of us agents are making sure that the people in DC know our feelings about this. I do see some changes coming that are positive in this area, but it is going at a snails pace. At this point, it is progress and I’ll take it

I understand your concern about health disparities among minority seniors, and it’s an important issue. While I can’t engage in a political discussion on this topic, I can say that there are ongoing efforts to address health inequities in healthcare systems, including Medicare, through initiatives and programs designed to improve access to care for underserved communities. However, it’s always a conversation worth having about how we can work together to make healthcare more equitable for all seniors.
